We could not be more excited for The Beckoning Dream, but don't take our word for it! We just added some great feedback from fellow designers @mikerunderwood.bsky.social, @theurbanavian.bsky.social, and @artbyrecluse.bsky.social to the preview page!

Three papers lay flat on a surface, depicting quotes from other TTRPG designers. A single tarot card with an unblinking eye lays nearby. "I love how game-y this game is. Best has built something with has a lot of room for mastery and expressivity in deckbuilding as well as narrative collaboration and improvisation." - Mike Underwood, ENNIE Award-winning Additional Designer of Daggerheart
"What Matt's made really feels like collaborative painting as a storytelling medium. I've never seen a game that confidently and collaboratively has the players set conceptually challenging scenes without any friction or slowdown during play." - Yanni, Press Betwixt, Ambition
"TBD is about the power of emotions and feeling, allowing us to change our environments by changing our perception, but through its focus on card play it shows us that thoughts and prayers only matter if action is made in concert." - Nishaant, Creator of Tamasha!

I have a favour to ask! I have an audition for a commercial partially in Hindi, but I don't have a reader for my self-tape. If you are someone who: - Speaks Hindi/Urdu - Is available on Sat., Oct. 10 @ 8pm ET - Is willing to read with me virtually please let me know! Happy to return the favour!

The dream grows closer each day, inviting you to consider...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN A WORLD WITHOUT LIMITS!?

Divination IS the game mechanic. The Beckoning Dream.
A mockup of the core rulebook floats above a moon-and-star lit field. Dozens of witches dance in the soft light around a tree, as a magic chandelier floats above. Bats? Birds? All fly about, inspecting the ritual.

"how did you get into ttrpgs" There's a funny answer and a regular answer... The funny answer is Teletubbies

You could try and snag some screenshots of the digital versions of A5 size books like the Mork Borg, Blades in the Dark, and others. Those usually include a portrait of their cover. if you're looking for images of the book itself, you might want to check out online stores that sell physical copies!

This just in, straight white man says things we already knew and wins internet points despite rarely (if ever) genuinely platforming queer BIPOC creators

I was already honored to be a voice in their game, but now I’m DOUBLY grateful to have @doublefine.com’s continued support as they unabashedly celebrate our collab!

(And please don’t worry. While my success & public joy seem to be upsetting to some, I feel like I’m getting to live my dream life!)

(i have a triforce tattoo) zelda nostalgia is so fascinating. its almost on the level of disney nostalgia but more socially acceptable because good zelda games are still being made

It genuinely feels like I've been waiting for this to release for a decade! The very concept of TAMASHA! is everything to me, and it was made with so much love, art, and passion for its audience (US). you should go give it some love, read the itch page and support it how you can 🔥🔥🔥
